Chinese shipbuilder Jiangnan has delivered the 15,000-teu LNG-powered containership, CMA CGM Cape Cod, to French shipping giant CMA CGM.

The shipbuilder announced the delivery of the 336 meters long and 51 meters wide vessel in a statement issued on April 11.

Jiangnan launched CMA CGM Cod in October last year, while a naming ceremony took place on March 28, 2024.

Jiangnan and Hudong-Zhonghua are each constucting six LNG-powered ships for CMA CGM as part of a deal revealed in April 2021, but the six vessels at Hudong-Zhonghua have a capacity of 13,000 units.

Also, the new LNG-powered vessels feature GTT’s Mark III containment system and WinGD’s dual-fuel propulsion.

The vessel’s LNG tanks have a capacity of 14,000 cbm.
